{BEIJINHOS DE COCO} BRAZILIAN COCONUT TREATS

Steps:

• In a pan add the condensed milk, 100g of coconut flakes and the butter. Now the fun begins! Over medium heat start stirring. And keep stirring until the mixture thickens and you can see the bottom of the pan for a good few seconds before the mixture levels out again. This is really important. This process should take at least 6-7 min, don't rush it or it won't be the right consistency to roll into balls.
• Leave it to cool, about 15min or enough so that it is cool to handle and it has hardened up a little.
• Grab the flakes you had reserved for rolling. You can do 2 things here: 1) Use them as they are to roll or 2) Blitz them so that they are super fine. I blitzed them as I like the outside texture to be soft. But it is totally up to you if you decide to do this.
• Coat your hands in a little butter (just so that the mixture doesn't stick) and start making your balls. I like mine the size of a little smaller than a measuring tablespoon. Once all rolled out put one clove in the midle for decoration. This is traditional and for decoration. Remove it before eating and it does leave a nice taste.

COCONUT RUM RICE KRISPIE TREATS

Steps:

• Start with the recipe on the box: melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a large pan over LOW heat (so the butter doesn't burn and become bitter to taste). After the butter melted, I added 1/2 cup of coconut and 1/8 cup of dark rum. Add 4 cups of mini marshmallows and heat to melted then remove from heat. Stir 6 cups of Rice Krispie cereal into the melted marshmallows. Drop into a greased 9×13 pan and smooth out with buttered spatula or buttered wax paper (so the treats don't stick to your hand while trying to get them smooth). Cool and enjoy!

• Hand roll about 28 little balls individually which you place 2" apart on the lines cookie sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes in the upper half of the oven. It is important that the cookies do not over bake, or they will turn out too crumbly and dry. Even though they may seem soft when you take them out, they will harden as they cool down.

Remove from the heat and stir in the peanut butter, vanilla and a pinch of salt. Add the cereal, pretzels and coconut and stir with a rubber spatula, making sure to scrape the bottom, until the cereal is completely coated. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and pat it into an even layer (use the bottom of a measuring cup to help). Let it sit at room temperature until firm, about 30 minutes.

HAZELNUT-TOASTED COCONUT CRISPY TREATS

Steps:

• 1. Grease with butter a 9x13 in. pan. Then line with parchment paper. Have paper come up over the ends, to make a handle, making it easier to lift treats out of pan. Make sure you have thoroughly stirred the hazelnut paste, to disburse oil at the top. Like natural peanut butter, the oil rises and must be stirred back in. Then it is ready to measure for cooking. Almond paste does not have to be stirred, as it doesn't separate, but it ready to use when you open the can.
• 2. Heat butter in a large, heavy pan, over low heat, and when melted, add regular and toasted coconut marshmallows. Stir occasionally to distribute marshmallows throughout, and help them melt, about 5 minutes. Add hazelnut paste and stir until paste is melted, and mixture is well blended.
• 3. Remove from heat, and stir in rice crispies, toasted coconut, and hazelnuts. Mix until rice puffs are well coated, and coconut and nuts are well mixed throughout.
• 4. Scrape one half of mixture into the pan. Quickly, with buttered hands or well buttered spatula (hands work better) push and compact mixture into pan. Sprinkle evenly with chopped chocolate. Top with remaining marshmallow mixture, and pat down, covering chocolate layer. You want to move quickly during these steps so that the mixture does not become too hard to maneuver in pan. Let mixture cool, or place in refrigerator for 15 minutes to cool faster.
• 5. Cut into squares. Best the day of making, (but they do last longer and better than the original recipe). Serve as desired. Keep tightly closed for up to three days.
• 6. NOTE: I have made these with almond paste, using 4-6 oz. of leftover paste. Can add a touch of almond extract if desired. I used chopped almonds, toasted, or pecans if I have on hand. They are rather classy crispy treats and have been requested at adult gatherings. Since anything goes when making them, there is a version for everyone! I hope you try them and let me know how you like them! P.S. Sweetened coconut, even toasted, makes them overly sweet. I use KAF toasted coconut as purchased, or unsweetened coconut I toast myself if I have to do so. It adds a nice flavor to the cereal, and the nut pastes. Gluten-Free: Just make sure your ingredients, including Rice Cereal is gluten free. Most boxes today say so right on the front or side with nutrient information.
